I would be very interested to see this vs the GMMK Pro, as well as the mods you mentioned!

[@Mike-11]

I’m still interested

[@Sigisss]

hello, if you can help, I was undecided too, in the end I got the id80 v2 because I like it more aesthetically, because it arrives in 4 days (They have not yet sent the gmmk pro to a friend of mine who preordered it to November) and because it is more "rare" In the end they are very similar I would go to i80v2

[@Mike-11]

@@Sigisss hey, I ordered the Id80 v2 as well it’s standing in front of me. I just have the problem that it sounds very holo. I used the packing foam For dampening which helped for every key beside the spacebar. Do you have any recommendations for what I can do know ?

Put some silicone and/or some door gasket in there and see if it takes away that echo. I am sitting trying to decide if I want the full acrylic one.

[@eatpreymurder2671]

Thank you so much for actually making a video that’s noob friendly and informative! I’ve seen so many of these keyboard videos of someone building them without explaining what they’re doing or where they got their supplies. You deserve way more subs.

nice video man, i just finished building my V2. Are you going to mod it to get rid off the remaining hollowness?

[@HipyoTech]

I'll potentially revisit it in the future, but I have a lot on my plate right now. I would do a very similar mod to my silicone mod I did on the Id87.

[@dhoffnun]

Informative, interesting, and well-produced - really enjoyed the video. The final build sounds amazing! It's deeper than a thock... maybe a THUNCC

[@EngraMoon]

PSA: This keyboard is shown as "in-stock" on their website, but its inventory is SERIOUSLY BACKLOGGED. People who ordered months ago have yet to receive their order, especially for the white colourway. The company do not reply to emails frequently and a lot of people are wondering when their shipment is being sent out. There is essentially little to no customer service. Buy at your own risk.

[@takoyakeys]

NICE. Sounds way better than v1, Idobao did a great job making improvements this quickly!

[@HipyoTech]

Agreed!

Good informative review. I had an ID80 v1 and I couldn't stand the hollowness of that board. V2 seemed to have improved on that greatly, but it still sounds a bit hollow unfortunately :(

[@ok2full]

this board looks a lot nicer and you get way more out of it than a drop CTRL the only weird than about that layouts on their boards is that blank space. but if these were a thing a few years back when i grabbed a drop CTRL when i first entered the hobby i would have rather gone with this board especially with screw in stab support sheeeez no brainer. if you kiddo's are contemplating this or a drop ctrl id grab this any day for your first little budget build. gat yellows are the food stamps of the switch industry change my mind

[@emilzexkk735]

Hey do you remember me? My SK68 just arrived! Have some with the epomaker software, can't change the lighting except on driver1, and if I change some keys on a layer like layer1, the lighing will just go off until I factory reset it in the settings of epomakers software. Gonna mod it a little. Not comfortable with lubing my switches tho. So just some foam on the bottom and definitely some lube for the stabilizers. Will keep you updated! :D And yes, would love a mod video on the Id80 V2!

[@HipyoTech]

Hey! I remember you of course! Join the epomaker discord for some support, they have good help over there. And post some pics in my discord of your mods when you are done!

[@emilzexkk735]

​ @Hipyo Tech I'm definitely gonna post some pictures of when it's done. Looking for some middle of the road pricing PBT keycaps for it, sth BoW or so. Not in a hurry tho, stock ones are pretty nice.

probably around 7-8

It does not come with the PCB foam, and does not really need it. It still needs case foam of some kind.

Cheap ass shitty rubber feet that come off after 2-3 months, 60 extra for a cheaper plastic bottom and a few grams of brass at €2/kg. This board screams "keyboard enthusiasts are gullible wankers".

[@SECSIASIAN]

this might be a really stupid question, but can anyone confirm if the ID80 V2 is currently in stock? it's allowing me to add to cart so i'm assuming its available but the description hasn't changed and still lists both starting and ending GB dates so i'm a bit worried

Might have been overkill but I haven't had any issues at all during regular use either and I've opened it up a few times. I have seen people say it shorts out a few weeks in. I've had it for about about a month now and no issues. Definitely not something we should be worried about so if you are worried, there are other options out there!
